Opposition to biblical teachings on creation
In 2012, Bill Nye produced a video attacking the teaching of creationism to children. In the video he said: "I say to the grownups, 'If you want to deny evolution and live in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we've observed in the universe that's fine. But don't make your kids do it.'"[2] In an interview on the topic he said "[t]he biblical stories were presented to me, but they never seemed reasonable."[2]
Global warming
Bill Nye advocates action on global warming and has appeared in Climate Code segments on the Weather Channel giving advice on how to save energy.
